He's Liverpool's new star, but the owners gave Stefan Bajcetic this ridiculous salary

Midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, the second youngest Spanish player to score a Premier League goal (the first is Cesc Fabregas), has become Liverpool's hottest player at just 18. "Stefan Bajcetic is a great player and person, he always tries to work hard. Since he started playing for us, he has been our best player, so I hope he keeps that confidence and keeps going," Mohamed Salah explained about the young Spanish player on 'Sky Sports'.

Bajcetic, who recently renewed with Liverpool until 2027, welcomed the words of his famed team-mate: "Mo Salah is probably one of the best players in Liverpool's history, so it's good to hear a legend say that. Spaniard Bajcetic's explosion for Liverpool in the derby against Everton.

Salah's praise came after Jamie Carragher named the Vigo midfielder as 'Man of the Match' in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby: "He's left out players who have won the Champions League. He was outstanding.

Low wages

While Bajcetic's merits with the first team only allowed him to have a salary increase to 2 million euros per year, Thiago Alcántara on the other hand has been very inconsistent due to injuries, and even with those physical limitations has a salary of around 11.5 million euros per year, a figure that exceeds by more than five times what his young Spanish compatriot earns today.
